Physics 435 Advanced Electromagnetism I
Hour Exam III ...
... will take place in class on Wed., Nov. 30. The exam will cover Chs. 5-6 of Griffiths, i.e., Lectures 1-27. The exam will be open book, meaning you can bring any static print materials including the text, printouts of lecture notes, homeworks, or a pre-prepared equation sheet of your own making. Electronic devices of any sort are not permitted. Calculators will be neither allowed nor needed.
Unfortunately, a sample exam is not available for the second hour exam. But the length and format will be very close to the first exam.
Hour Exam II ...
... will take place in class on Wed., Nov. 2. The exam will cover Chs. 3-4 of Griffiths, i.e., Lectures 1-17. The exam will be open book, meaning you can bring any static print materials including the text, printouts of lecture notes, homeworks, or a pre-prepared equation sheet of your own making. Electronic devices of any sort are not permitted. Calculators will be neither allowed nor needed.

Welcome to Physics 435 -- Class starts on Monday, Aug. 22, 2022.
Phys 435 is the first semester of a year-long course in Classical Electrodynamics. E&M is more than just a way of computing E and B fields: It is the first field theory, the first gauge theory, and a deep dive into the way physical theories of nature are structured. The text is Introduction to Electrodynamics by David Griffiths. I will usually refer to material from the 3rd edition, though as far as I can tell the 4th edition is identical.
